OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene belongs to the chemokine-like factor gene superfamily, a novel family that is similar to the chemokine and transmembrane 4 superfamilies. This gene is one of several chemokine-like factor genes located in a cluster on chromosome 3. This gene acts as a tumor suppressor that regulates G1/S transition in the cell cycle, and epidermal growth factor receptor/protein kinase B signaling during tumor pathogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CMTM7 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CMTM7 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CMTM7 could matter depends on whether native CMTM7 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CMTM7 is annotated as secreted, so native CMTM7 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CMTM7 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
